Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: 'We will fight until the end'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has insisted that he and his team will "fight until the end" as their Champions League hopes hang by a thread.

United's qualification for next season's tournament is out of their own hands after losing 3-2 to West Ham United on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils need to beat Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, while also hoping that Swansea City cause an upset against Manchester City at the same time.

"We are dependent on Manchester City, that's the difference," Van Gaal told reporters in Friday's press conference. "That's also frustrating when you had the chance to two matches before the end to keep that advantage.

"We were 2-1 ahead with 15 minutes to play and then we gave it away, that's frustrating. Now we are dependent but still it is possible. We fight until the end."

United's season is not over on Sunday, though, as they will take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 21.
